Cheap, Clean Energy: Coal Gasification Breakthrough Promises Abundant Fuel for the Future
Coal gasification with high temperature steam aims to convert coal into valuable gases like hydrogen and carbon monoxide for efficient power generation. By using ultra high temperature steam, researchers studied how the steam-to-coal ratio affects gas concentrations, gasification rate, and the production of byproducts like tar and ammonia. The results show that coal gasification with high temperature steam can produce syngas that can be used for electricity production and in the chemical industry.
